Algeria’s gesture deepens educational cooperation
In a personal letter of gratitude sent to President Tebboune, Sheikh Bauchi commended the Algerian government’s generosity and commitment to advancing education within the Tijaniyya community.
He said:
“Your Excellency, I wish to express my deep gratitude for your government’s generous decision to open Algeria’s universities to 140 Tijaniyya students from Nigeria.”
He described the initiative as a bridge of goodwill and understanding between nations built on the pursuit of knowledge.
According to him:

“Such leadership strengthens Algeria’s standing as a country whose influence is measured not by dominion but by dignity — a voice of equilibrium and wisdom in an age that often forgets both,” Sheikh Bauchi said.
The latest batch of 140 beneficiaries marks the second phase of scholarships granted at the scholar’s request.
The first group of Nigerian students who received similar offers under the initiative are nearing completion of their studies in various Algerian universities.
Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi, who recently clocked 100 years, has long been regarded as one of West Africa’s most respected Islamic leaders. His foundation continues to promote education, scholarship, and religious tolerance across Nigeria and the broader Sahel region.
